To all 'whom is? may conce/fw,

Be it known, that i, "irwiLLLin BAILEY, i subject oi' the King ci Greet "ritniirr residing at Birmingham, i/ern'ick, ifnglnndfu have invented certain newf ind ueefui niproveniente in Stoppering Crowns or Caps for Botties end the Like, of which the foiiowinp; is e, speeiiieetion, being` o division. ofi the application tiied oy ine iiiov'einhei i909, no.

My invention relates to hottie Stoppering crowns or caps, in which n disk of cork or other i'nziteriei is nsed as e 'peeking inenife n tight joint when the oep is pressed upon and seeured tothe hottie; ,l

This invention is designed especifdiy for that form oi'bottie stopper new well known as the crown in which placed e cork disk ns e packing or seed and the surrounding iiange is compressed against a rib on the mouth oil the hottie.

it. is Weii known that it is desirabie to cover the surface of this peeking either to prevent contamination of the contents ot the hottie, or to prevent leakage through the pores or defects of the seeding disk.

My said invention consists of a. special covering for this sealing disk nature of which is adapted to the epeciei conditions oi3 this ind of hottie stopper.

it is Weil known that this torni oit stopper (the crown"") is mede in such enolinons quantities :is to equire Ytor the nsseinoiing as Weil as the making of the parte' the use ot' machinery, sind therefore the. eenling' disk, which is one of the component partsg Within the cap by the assembling? machine. i have therefore sought to eiiiectiveiy @over the sealing disk, and cheaply, :is is neces# Sary. so that it remains. with the covering, es a unit, capable of manipuisition es the assembling of the uncovered disk has heen heretofore hnndied. Further,` the sealing requires that the disk must he sensitively yielding. and the covering must not interfere with this quoiity. To these ends i have covered the disk. with foil. nsuaiiy what is called tinioii"". :i materiel cheap and inlpervions. and which con be Wrapped so closely 'upon the exposed foce of the seaiing disk.y and around its edges, and in part o1' Whole upon its rent or innei` ieee. that by its lightness and piiabiiity it will adhere there to. Thus wrapped oioeeiy moon the sealing' dusk, this disk moy nnseinhied 1with the yop, Without disoiinngeinent oi` the ooi/eri ing.

The invention is illustrate ponyingi drawing in which.,v
